Hyderabad’s political landscape is set for major changes as Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy prepares significant cabinet modifications. The state leader plans to expand his team and reorganize ministerial roles before marking two years in office on December 7.
Revanth Reddy wants to add two new ministers to his current cabinet while shuffling existing portfolios. Political insiders suggest some current ministers may lose their positions to make room for fresh faces.
The Congress leadership is seriously considering creating a Deputy Chief Minister position. This new role would likely go to someone from the BC community, strengthening political representation across different social groups.
Cabinet expansion plans are moving quickly ahead of local body elections. The state government will announce election dates after results from the Jubilee Hills Assembly by-election are declared.
Several Congress politicians have started intense lobbying efforts with party leaders in New Delhi. Some hopeful candidates have grown frustrated with the delay and stopped attending official government events.
Munugode MLA Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy has openly challenged party leadership. He demands a cabinet position as promised in exchange for helping CH Kiran Kumar Reddy win the Bhongir MP seat during recent Lok Sabha elections.
Ibrahimpatnam MLA Malreddy Ranga Reddy has issued direct threats to quit the party if ignored during cabinet expansion. His public statements highlight growing tensions within Congress ranks.
Khairatabad MLA Danam Nagendar was considered a strong candidate for ministerial appointment. However, ongoing Speaker hearings about BRS turncoat MLAs have damaged his chances of joining Revanth Reddy’s cabinet.
Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president Mahesh Kumar Goud appears closest to securing a cabinet position. Sources indicate Goud has already gained approval from Congress high command and may replace an existing minister soon.
The political reshuffling reflects Revanth Reddy’s strategy to balance different factions within his party while preparing for upcoming electoral challenges in Telangana.
